Rick-ishi defy predictions, knock off HHH in 160.56-121.58 rout

Rick-ishi beat expectations, rolling to a 160.56-121.58 win over HHH, who fell short of projections. It didn't take long to learn who would be the frontrunner in the matchup, as Rick-ishi leapt out to a 42.88-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout showings from the New England Patriots defense (39 points) and Dalvin Cook (30.6). Lamar Jackson (272 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 120 Rush Yds) and Ezekiel Elliott (111 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) were the leading performers for HHH in the loss. Rick-ishi (2-0) will look to sustain their winning ways against PapaMARSHAWNgo, while HHH (0-2) meet Stone Cold Bosstrin in an effort to get some positive momentum.
